Yeide "Tank Killers"

There were teething problems, of course. Before the training centers were established, units trained where and as they could.The 667th, 803d and 899th Tank Destroyer Battalions initially pooled their resources and in March 1942 established a joint training center at Fort Lewis, Washington. The 628th may have set a record for training on simulated guns- eleven months- before having an opportunity to fire some borrowed 75 mm guns in November 1942.
